Greetings, all.
Now sure how many of you have been playing the Starhawk Beta now it's gone public, but this week, along with the new 32-player map DUST, Clans have also become available. I have started the pseudo-official TOG clan... if you want to be be sent an invitation, drop me a msg either here or on PSN with your PSN gamer ID.

First game I played the framerate felt terrible, like sub 25 fps. Second game I could only see about 20 meters, everything past that was just random multiple blocks of colour :S Maybe I need to update my drivers

A little more technical then Warhawk. Building, demolishing, fighting. Strategy might be the best way to win in this game. Building outposts to advance troops to the front lines. Building defenses around said outpost but not forgetting defensive positions around the main base. Energy efficiency.

I played a pretty much ground based strategy tonight and was enjoying it. Seems to be less people jumping into the StarHawks and more willing to shoot it out on the ground. Time will tell of course which way the winds will blow with this.

I await your call up Captain.

The speeder bikes, heavy tanks and the 'Dust' 32-player map only got released last week - so people may be focussing on them for a bit until the novelty wears off. The hawks are still the dominant strategic vehicle, as they were in Warhawk.
But IMHO, the Starhawk's mech capacity makes them a lot more fun to use than Warhawk. They *are* handy for going from point to point, amassing rift quickly then raiding the enemy position, purely because of their speed. And the fact that you can 'swoop' down and build an offensive weapon on the fly (many a time I've dropped a spawn beacon right IN the enemy base) is a stroke of brilliance.

We'll be waiting, George.

A1, I'll send you and Chief a clan invitation next time I'm on. (Been working late this week and just plain too exhausted to play).
George, which PSN login will you be using, I'll preemptively send you one too.
